For my product launch, the big day is coming soon. I feel like it's the craziest time. Please suggest to me things I must NOT do before the launch that could potentially hurt it. Thanks in advance 🙏

Don't forget to promote your launch! Share it on social media, reach out to influencers, and get the word out there.

@johny_burg Thanks, doing my best!
Are you currently in search of a talented professional to join your team?"
@naveed_rehman Could you tell me more about your venture and what specific qualities or skills you're seeking in a potential co-founder?
@chikezie_sixtus Yes, a talented co-founder with some experience.
1. Don't try to buy upvotes - ProductHunt will 100% catch it and deal with it
2. Don't try to get people to sign up to ProductHunt on your launch day to upvote your product (votes from brand new users will not help you - accounts need to be in better standing for their votes to help you)
3. Don't lie about your product - it would quickly become clear when people start trying it
4. Don't try to attack other users' products with bad reviews etc
5. Don't be unprepared for the incoming new users! We almost came close to hitting a database limit because we didn't check beforehand 😅
Basically just focus on presenting your product well and engage with the Product Hunt community genuinely and you'll do great!
@daniel_hunt4 Thanks. Just read 4th one twice, really? People do that too! criminal!!!!

Not to have enough sleep. I can imagine how exciting and even somewhat terrifying the upcoming launch may be, but having enough energy is crucial.
